My truck has a bad gas smell when entering or exiting the truck. I looked underneath it and saw a small gas leak coming from the top inside of the tank. The truck only has 26000 miles on it, and is just out of warranty. Please inform me if you know of other reports of gas leaking on these chevy trucks
